Definitions about filters in topological spaces

In this file we define filters in topological spaces, as well as other definitions that rely on Filters.

Main Definitions

Neighborhoods filter

• nhds x: the filter of neighborhoods of a point in a topological space, denoted by 𝓝 x in the Topology scope. A set is called a neighborhood of x, if it includes an open set around x.

• nhdsWithin x s: the filter of neighborhoods of a point within a set, defined as 𝓝 x ⊓ 𝓟 s and denoted by 𝓝[s] x. We also introduce notation for some special sets s, see below.

• nhdsSet s: the filter of neighborhoods of a set in a topological space, denoted by 𝓝ˢ s in the Topology scope. A set t is called a neighborhood of s, if it includes an open set that includes s.

• exterior s: The exterior of a set is the intersection of all its neighborhoods. In an Alexandrov-discrete space, this is the smallest neighborhood of the set.

  Note that this construction is unnamed in the literature. We choose the name in analogy to interior.

Continuity at a point

• ContinuousAt f x: a function f is continuous at a point x, if it tends to 𝓝 (f x) along 𝓝 x.

• ContinuousWithinAt f s x: a function f is continuous within a set s at a point x, if it tends to 𝓝 (f x) along 𝓝[s] x.

• ContinuousOn f s: a function f : X → Y is continuous on a set s, if it is continuous within s at every point of s.

Limits

• lim f: a limit of a filter f in a nonempty topological space. If there exists x such that f ≤ 𝓝 x, then lim f is one of such points, otherwise it is Classical.choice _.

  In a Hausdorff topological space, the limit is unique if it exists.

• Ultrafilter.lim f: a limit of an ultrafilter f, defined as the limit of (f : Filter X) with a proof of Nonempty X deduced from existence of an ultrafilter on X.

• limUnder f g: a limit of a filter f along a function g, defined as lim (Filter.map g f).

Cluster points and accumulation points

• ClusterPt x F: a point x is a cluster point of a filter F, if 𝓝 x is not disjoint with F.

• MapClusterPt x F u: a point x is a cluster point of a function u along a filter F, if it is a cluster point of the filter Filter.map u F.

• AccPt x F: a point x is an accumulation point of a filter F, if 𝓝[≠] x is not disjoint with F. Every accumulation point of a filter is its cluster point, but not vice versa.

• IsCompact s: a set s is compact if for every nontrivial filter f that contains s, there exists a ∈ s such that every set of f meets every neighborhood of a. Equivalently, a set s is compact if for any cover of s by open sets, there exists a finite subcover.

• CompactSpace, NoncompactSpace: typeclasses saying that the whole space is a compact set / is not a compact set, respectively.

• WeaklyLocallyCompactSpace X: typeclass saying that every point of X has a compact neighborhood.

• LocallyCompactSpace X: typeclass saying that every point of X has a basis of compact neighborhoods. Every locally compact space is a weakly locally compact space. The reverse implication is true for R₁ (preregular) spaces.

• LocallyCompactPair X Y: an auxiliary typeclass saying that for any continuous function f : X → Y, a point x, and a neighborhood s of f x, there exists a compact neighborhood K of x such that f maps K to s.

• Filter.cocompact, Filter.coclosedCompact: filters generated by complements to compact and closed compact sets, respectively.

Notations

• 𝓝 x: the filter nhds x of neighborhoods of a point x;
• 𝓟 s: the principal filter of a set s, defined elsewhere;
• 𝓝[s] x: the filter nhdsWithin x s of neighborhoods of a point x within a set s;
• 𝓝[≤] x: the filter nhdsWithin x (Set.Iic x) of left-neighborhoods of x;
• 𝓝[≥] x: the filter nhdsWithin x (Set.Ici x) of right-neighborhoods of x;
• 𝓝[<] x: the filter nhdsWithin x (Set.Iio x) of punctured left-neighborhoods of x;
• 𝓝[>] x: the filter nhdsWithin x (Set.Ioi x) of punctured right-neighborhoods of x;
• 𝓝[≠] x: the filter nhdsWithin x {x}ᶜ of punctured neighborhoods of x;
• 𝓝ˢ s: the filter nhdsSet s of neighborhoods of a set.

def Specializes {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] (x y : X) : Prop

x specializes to y (notation: x ⤳ y) if either of the following equivalent properties hold:

• 𝓝 x ≤ 𝓝 y; this property is used as the definition;
• pure x ≤ 𝓝 y; in other words, any neighbourhood of y contains x;
• y ∈ closure {x};
• closure {y} ⊆ closure {x};
• for any closed set s we have x ∈ s → y ∈ s;
• for any open set s we have y ∈ s → x ∈ s;
• y is a cluster point of the filter pure x = 𝓟 {x}.

This relation defines a Preorder on X. If X is a T₀ space, then this preorder is a partial order. If X is a T₁ space, then this partial order is trivial : x ⤳ y ↔ x = y.

noncomputable def limUnder {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] {α : Type u_3} [Nonempty X] (f : Filter α) (g : α → X) : X

If f is a filter in α and g : α → X is a function, then limUnder f g is a limit of g at f, if it exists.

Equations

• limUnder f g = lim (Filter.map g f)

def ClusterPt {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] (x : X) (F : Filter X) : Prop

A point x is a cluster point of a filter F if 𝓝 x ⊓ F ≠ ⊥. Also known as an accumulation point or a limit point, but beware that terminology varies. This is not the same as asking 𝓝[≠] x ⊓ F ≠ ⊥, which is called AccPt in Mathlib. See mem_closure_iff_clusterPt in particular.

Equations

• ClusterPt x F = (nhds x ⊓ F).NeBot

def MapClusterPt {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] {ι : Type u_3} (x : X) (F : Filter ι) (u : ι → X) : Prop

def IsCompact {X : Type u_1} [TopologicalSpace X] (s : Set X) : Prop

Equations

• IsCompact s = ∀ ⦃f : Filter X⦄ [inst : f.NeBot], f ≤ Filter.principal s → ∃ x ∈ s, ClusterPt x f

class CompactSpace (X : Type u_1) [TopologicalSpace X] : Prop

Type class for compact spaces. Separation is sometimes included in the definition, especially in the French literature, but we do not include it here.

• isCompact_univ : IsCompact Set.univ

  In a compact space, Set.univ is a compact set.

class NoncompactSpace (X : Type u_1) [TopologicalSpace X] : Prop

X is a noncompact topological space if it is not a compact space.

• noncompact_univ : ¬IsCompact Set.univ

  In a noncompact space, Set.univ is not a compact set.

class WeaklyLocallyCompactSpace (X : Type u_3) [TopologicalSpace X] : Prop

We say that a topological space is a weakly locally compact space, if each point of this space admits a compact neighborhood.

• exists_compact_mem_nhds (x : X) : ∃ (s : Set X), IsCompact s ∧ s ∈ nhds x

  Every point of a weakly locally compact space admits a compact neighborhood.

class LocallyCompactSpace (X : Type u_3) [TopologicalSpace X] : Prop

There are various definitions of "locally compact space" in the literature, which agree for Hausdorff spaces but not in general. This one is the precise condition on X needed for the evaluation map C(X, Y) × X → Y to be continuous for all Y when C(X, Y) is given the compact-open topology.

See also WeaklyLocallyCompactSpace, a typeclass that only assumes that each point has a compact neighborhood.

• local_compact_nhds (x : X) (n : Set X) : n ∈ nhds x → ∃ s ∈ nhds x, s ⊆ n ∧ IsCompact s

  In a locally compact space, every neighbourhood of every point contains a compact neighbourhood of that same point.

class LocallyCompactPair (X : Type u_3) (Y : Type u_4) [TopologicalSpace X] [TopologicalSpace Y] : Prop

We say that X and Y are a locally compact pair of topological spaces, if for any continuous map f : X → Y, a point x : X, and a neighbourhood s ∈ 𝓝 (f x), there exists a compact neighbourhood K ∈ 𝓝 x such that f maps K to s.

This is a technical assumption that appears in several theorems, most notably in ContinuousMap.continuous_comp' and ContinuousMap.continuous_eval. It is satisfied in two cases:

• if X is a locally compact topological space, for obvious reasons;
• if X is a weakly locally compact topological space and Y is an R₁ space; this fact is a simple generalization of the theorem saying that a weakly locally compact R₁ topological space is locally compact.

• exists_mem_nhds_isCompact_mapsTo {f : X → Y} {x : X} {s : Set Y} : Continuous f → s ∈ nhds (f x) → ∃ K ∈ nhds x, IsCompact K ∧ Set.MapsTo f K s

  If f : X → Y is a continuous map in a locally compact pair of topological spaces and s : Set Y is a neighbourhood of f x, x : X, then there exists a compact neighbourhood K of x such that f maps K to s.

def Filter.cocompact (X : Type u_1) [TopologicalSpace X] : Filter X

Filter.cocompact is the filter generated by complements to compact sets.

Equations

• Filter.cocompact X = ⨅ (s : Set X), ⨅ (_ : IsCompact s), Filter.principal sᶜ

def Filter.coclosedCompact (X : Type u_1) [TopologicalSpace X] : Filter X

Filter.coclosedCompact is the filter generated by complements to closed compact sets. In a Hausdorff space, this is the same as Filter.cocompact.

Equations

• Filter.coclosedCompact X = ⨅ (s : Set X), ⨅ (_ : IsClosed s), ⨅ (_ : IsCompact s), Filter.principal sᶜ
